Let me tell 'bout my homeboy Cory
|
this is the first verse of the very first story
|
call it the first letter
|
you can call it whatever
|
long as you hear the truth and leave surer than ever
|
Cory's a new believer actin' like he's in gang
|
he run around sayin his Church is the greatest thang
|
He won't check a sermon unless its his Bishops name,
|
It seems he forgot to keep Jesus the main thang
|
Cause Bishop ain't raise up after three days up
|
he ain't take ya case up
|
offering you his grace huh
|
But Cory stay divided all the time
|
not Christ but a man that he standin behind
|
|
I got this little letter, I'm tryna break down (break it down)
|
So you can hear the Truth in the Sound (In the Sound) Division,
|
A whole lotta Sin I can't forget the problems of people living within. [X2]
|
|
I got this little letter I'm tryna break down
|
(break it down)
|
But let me tell you Cory background
|
he started off crazy, parties, full shawties religious ceremonies where people was gettin naughty
|
but all that changed
|
the truth of God reigned
|
The Gospel spread within Him, like viruses in his veins
|
but man even though his heart's rearranged
|
he found himself caught up in some of his old ways
|
he layin up with women his sinning was gettin strange
|
he thought the more he sinned the more Jesus was pleased to save
|
He thought cause he accepted His brother touchin his mother
|
that he was spiritual cause he let'em get with each other
|
Cory had beef with another within the faith instead workin' through it they opened a court case
|
a slap to the face of the God who gives grace
|
Cory's outta place tryna carry his own weight
|
|
I got this little letter, I'm tryna break down (break it down)
|
So you can hear the Truth in the Sound (In the Sound) Division,
|
A whole lotta Sin I can't forget the problems of people living within. [X2]
|
|
Now Cory got married but everywhere he turns
|
he sees lust burn and women waitin' to serve him
|
yeah an Cory's learnin
|
satan wishes to turn him away from his wife to satisfy all his yearnings
|
Divorce ain't legitimate
|
if both are regenerate
|
what God put together let nobody put a split in it
|
but see that ain't the end of it
|
He sought his own benefit
|
He would do things that his friends saw as forbidden
|
and though it was no sin in it
|
His homies they was ignorant and they were made weak cause His liberty was their hinderance
|
|
Unlike an apostle no concern for the Gospel
|
no denying his rights nah homie wasn't that thoughtful...thoughtful
|
Maybe I should take a second to explain man that Cory ain't a person but a group of people.
|
Many just like Christians today - caught up in their own worldly culture no respect for divine authority, the Lords Supper,
|
and still exhalting gifts which are all given by the Holy Spirit.
|
They begin to value these things more than love for one another.
|
Everything we have is given by God who commands us to live outwardly toward others.
|
I pray none of us wrestle with the Resurrection of Jesus. Holla at me if you do.
|
Above all things LOVE GOD and LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
